Be Strong, Little Marshmallow: Using Soft Skills to Strengthen Your Professional Presence
Friday, September 29th 6pm-9pm
This workshop will focus on the ‘soft skills’ of interpreting – meaning the skills that you need to become a professional interpreter AND just a successful person overall (Note-to-self: has a lot to do with your “internal committee”, how you interact with others and very little to do with what’s happening on your hands). In Demand-Control Schema terms: your inter- and intra-personal controls. The subject of “Deaf heart” will also be discussed and how each person can bring their own unique strengths and interests into the interpreting field.
